The fallen of a wall and ideologies?????.


20 years ago, the wall that divided Berlin in two parts fell. The wall divided no just a country, but Europe in two parts: east and west, The capitalism and the communism. Nobody could cross one side to another. The wall was built to avoid the emigration of the people who looked for better opportunities at the West, this of course will affect the economy of the German Democratic Republic. So, they built it in August of 1961.


The wall fell 27 years after, when that happened the communism as economical regime was over. There was a feeling of hope through all the world. Some people believed that ideologies would be finished, and peace and love will be in the world: capitalism was the winner. No more wars, no more communist menace, the road for globalization was free.


20 years after, the capitalism proved to be a not feasible economical regime, new wars are emerging, the ecological crisis is almost sending us to the abyss, and the delinquency is affecting many countries, the breach between rich and poor people is more distant than never,

and other walls that are even worse that the one in Berlin are built now, as the one that divides Israel and Palestine, the one that divides USA from Mexico. As we can see, the struggle goes on, and now We have to blow new walls away.
